RYE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA

11/22/13

Hi Everyone. Our trip today is to Rye, New Hampshire.
I knew nothing about this place, but I liked the name.
So, that is why Rye was chosen.

Rye is a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States. The
population was 5,298 at the 2010 census.

The first settlement in New Hampshire, originally named Pannaway
Plantation, was established in 1623 at Odiorne's Point by a group of
fishermen led by David Thompson. Prior to its incorporation in 1726
as a parish of New Castle, Rye was called Sandy Beach and included
land in New Castle, Portsmouth, Greenland and Hampton.

The town is located on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and includes four
of the nine islands known as the Isles of Shoals, which lie
approximately 10 miles (16 km) out from the mainland. The highest
point in Rye is the summit of Breakfast Hill, at 151 feet (46 m) above
sea level, on the town's border with Greenland.

January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
15 and 34 degrees Fahrenheit. July is normally the warmest month
with average temperatures between 59 and 82 degrees F. March is
normally the rainiest month with an average of 4.8 inches, with a
yearly average of 49.8 inches of rain. January is normally the
snowiest month with an average of 18.1 inches, with a yearly average
of 57.8 inches of snow.

I hope you enjoy this visit to Rye, New Hampshire.
